Pretty vacant

I love this project - putting up art in vacant storefronts in Downtown Crossing, in Boston. I’m pretty sure I saw something similar to that recently - was it here in Singapore or over in Bonn? Dagnabit, can’t remember. Anyway, no one loses here - place looks more upmarket, artists get publicity. One thing I’ve always thought is that those large grey concrete pillars of the MRT line should become canvases for Singaporean artists.

Anyhoo, “Big Smile”, the lime-green smiley face that stops smiling when someone walks by, seems like a pure fun piece of art.
